Engineering

Hi-Fi Drive Units

The drivers in P5 Series 2 are designed to work like those in a Hi-Fi speaker, with a more precise, controlled movement. The result? A giant leap forward in sound quality.

Acoustically-Optimised ear pads

P5 Series 2's ear pads feature an acoustically optimised grille pattern. This allows air to move freely through the pads, reducing acousting impedance to a minimum.

Tuned by Experts

Tuning requires fine judgement and an expert set of ears. For P5 Series 2, we've relied on the best ears in the business, using the same tuning team responsible for our flagship 800 Series speakers.

Design

High-Quality materials

P5 Series 2 is crafted from aluminium and supple sheep's leather, for maximum comfort and durability. Ultra-soft cushioning makes them very easy on the ears.

Detachable Pads

P5 Series 2's ear pads are held in place with magnets. So you can easily detach them to change the cable, or replace them if they get damaged. Why buy new headphones when all you need is a new set of pads?

Made for iPhone

P5 Series 2 is the perfect partner for your iPhone. It comes with an easy to use, Apple-approved microphone cable, for taking calls and controlling your device on the move.

eCoustics - January 2015

"These audiophile-grade headphones are a must-buy for anyone serious about hearing music the way it was intended. So long as you have the money, there's not much else in the on-ear market that can match this package at this price point."

"The Bowers and Wilkins P5 Series 2 try their darndest to make the case that less is more. The culmination of premium materials and striking design make the P5 Series 2 an undeniably lavish offering for audio lovers and minimalists alike."

"I found the P5 Series 2 was overall an exceptional experience. They are a pleasure to wear and use on a regular basis. Given the experience of listening to them has spoiled me for other small portable headsets. At the end of the day that’s really the conclusion, the P5 Series 2 headset was so good that I found myself taking it with me over other options. It has excellent construction, an attractive build, and wonderful audio. You wont be disappointed in your purchase of the P5 Series 2 from Bowers & Wilkins."

"The bottom line: there are few on-ear pairs this size, at any price, that sound as good. Bowers & Wilkins kept everything that worked, and tweaked the audio formula a bit, updating the engine essentially. And the P5 Series 2s deserve to be heard."

"B&W is well-known for detailed, comfortable headphones that are capable of notable aural magnificence. The P5 Series 2 on-ears live up to that tradition: They're comfortable, stylish, and sound great."

"Same great design with a high-end luxury appeal, ear cups have been redesigned for better air flow and comfort, the addition of the same drivers currently in the P7 headphones mean the P5 Series 2 headphones sound even better than they look. Listeners will look slick and rich in these headphones, and the better sound performance only enhances their appeal."
